COVID-19 News! - Shorts

Extra! Extra! Read about COVID! - Shorts
     Let's get right into the news! We have two stories to cover. One on a vaccine, the other on a GRIM MILESTONE. Let's do it


The Johnson & Johnson's Vaccine
     As of now there are quite a number of vaccines making the rounds like the Pfizer Vaccine or the Moderna Vaccine or say the SinoVac Vaccine or the AstroZeneca Vaccine along with the Sputnik Vaccine (Best name by the way). The Johnson and Johnson's one is important because it is the first vaccine that only requires the administration of one shot whereas the others require two shots instead. This probably helps to transport the vaccines in larger amounts and save of storing two types of the same. The vaccine has been very effective so far so let's hope it can get out of the labs and enter into the blood of millions. As fast as possible. Moving On...

Half a Million Dead in the U.S.A
     I saw Joe Biden live speaking at the White House talking about the 500,000 dead news. It was memorable I guess along with Anthony Fauci's speech on it as well. The idea of lighting up the walkway to pay tribute to those who died from COVID in January was a brilliant way to not only showcase those that they lost but also a way to show the scale of just how many people lost their lives. So now we have 2.5 Million deaths worldwide with a fifth of deaths in the United States. Hopefully, this massacre will be fast and painless. I'd like to pay tribute to those who lost their lives.

Happy Reading!

Deadvertising Zarm Zam's Blogger (89) - Shorts

  Deadvertising Zarm Zam's Blogger (89)     It was the 21st of April 2021 and I was casually scrolling through my Internet Feed when I saw a great injustice done to me...     I grabbed my phone and started to blog this exact article you're reading here. We all know who is Zarm Zam, he has a Opinion Corner but wait... where's he opinion? It's only random history facts only a history nerd like Zarm Zam would bother to read about.      Next up, let's talk about the number of views he has. Now I don't have an exact number but I will predict he has 250 views. Meanwhile on this Opinion Corner with actual Opinions and blog articles that not takes you a minute to read like on his Corner but at least 6 minutes, I have a whopping 2400 views!      Next up, look at the beautiful Arial font I use to write my blog. Then look at Zarm Zam's default font that he uses. With its stupidly sharp edges and curved numeral digits.      Final...

Modern British Declinism (Part 1)

-

Since World War II, the UK has seen the subsequent decline of their global power status, especially through the lost of their colonies which once made up 25% of the world's landmass. However, over the last 15 years, British Declinism has accelerated greatly thanks largely in part to economic decline, political divisions and internal conflicts resulting in economic deceleration and stalled growth. In this four part series, I will ‘attempt’ to explain how the UK got into this position and what it means for the world.   To provide further clarification, I separate British Declinism into two parts. First is Colonial Declinism which occured from the end of WW2 in 1945 to the Handover of Hong Kong 1997 (a series for another time perhaps?). The other is Modern Declinism (MBD) which traces its origins to the 2008 Great Recession. One metric I will be referencing a lot in this article is that of G7 countries, especially that of France and Germany because of their relative population a...

The Broken Mental Health System

-
The first two paragraphs are an adaptation of an original comment I wrote on the r/Singapore subreddit. I am awfully worried for students like me. In my opinion, the problem with our Mental Health  treatment machine is that those who need proper help fail to get enough of it meanwhile those who need not require help find these measures useless and boring and in some cases, further a adding to the stress students face. Imagine you're a student (or maybe you already are one) and you find yourself suffering from early signs of depression. There are four options for you. Talk to your Form Teacher, a School Counselor, seek Private Help or (unfortunately) give up. We know that students are more unlikely to open up about their mental health than adults (65% of adults do, only 32% of students do) therefore rendering the first two options redundant. Seeking Private Help is also useless since families are either unable to afford such help or choose not to, adopting a 'theres nothing wron...
